Using levels to define spaces

Full renovation and rear extension on a two storey Edwardian detached house in the West Putney Conservation Area.

Why is this special?

Extra tall split level living room for light and direct garden access

The Challenge

The owners wanted to match the roofing and windows details on the previous bay, but not the rickety wooden steps from there to the garden.

Our Solution

By lowering the floor and building right across the back, we could define the use of the spaces and provide extra height, space and light in the new Garden room.

The Results

Fantastic open plan connecting the kitchen, dining room and living room, which have their uses well defined within the new internal steps which don’t just add height in the extension but make a better connection to the garden and open up views from the original rooms.
